Enjoy!

Chapter 6- The Explanation
About 2-3 months later…"Sophie why do you keep getting fatter?" Markl asked one morning at breakfast.
"Markl that is not a nice question to ask!" Howl said sternly.
"Well it is true! Look at her she is bigger!" Markl said pointing to Sophie's stomach.
"Markl do you know why?" Sophie asked.
"Do you eat to much?" Markl asked with a disgusted look on his face.
Sophie laughed a bit, "No sweetie…well in a way yes but that is because I am feeding two people," Sophie said patting her tummy lightly.
"YOU HAVE ANOTHER PERSON INSIDE YOU!!!" Markl yelled, "we have to get it out it could eat you next!!!" Markl yelled charging at her stomach.
"Markl that is not what she is saying. She is pregnant." Howl said restraining Markl.
"Peg-mant?" Markl asked.
"Pregnant," Howl said with a sigh, here is where he would have to explain…that, "Do you remember a few months ago when you saw Sophie and I in our room-"
Markl's face twisted into a distasteful squint as he remembered that day, "Ya what about it?" he asked.
"Well we were making something…a baby brother or sister for you," Howl said sweetly to Markl hoping he would not have to describe any more than that at the moment.
"What do you mean?" Markl asked.
Howl cleared his throat and looked to Sophie…looked like he was on his own on this one. "Well once a man and woman get married they…get together…and they create a baby."
"With magic?" Markl asked.
Howl thought for a moment, "Yes but not the kind your thinking off, this is a special magic. Used only after you are married, and the magic comes from…" Howl looked around for a quick second.
"It comes from our rings, that is why we get them, to give us the power, and we must promise not to abuse it and stay together forever," Sophie said as she showed Markl her glimmering ring.
"So when do I get this sister or brother?" Markl asked with a smile.
"Well you see the magic takes about nine months to take full affect, and I will just keep getting bigger and bigger until then," Sophie said.
"Why do you have to get…bigger?" Markl asked staring at her tummy trying to imagine it bigger.
"That was part of the magic that was never described to us and it is not really important. All I have to do is make sure that I can survive nine months with a big tummy," Sophie said with a sigh.
Howl chuckled lightly, "I think that is enough questions for the day." Markl nodded and helped clean the dishes and then ran to his room.
"Well that was interesting," Howl said plopping down in a chair. Sophie sat down on the floor next to him and rested her head in his lap.
"At least we got him to stop talking about it," Sophie said closing her eyes.
"And your explanation was not that far fetched either, magic rings," Howl laughed, "Makes sense."
"I did not see you coming up with anything better," Sophie whined. He intertwined their fingers together and played with her hair.
"It was good Sophie," Howl said still smiling, "I have to go to our room and get some work done," Howl said with a sigh. He went to move but heard the deep peaceful breath of Sophie asleep. "Silly woman,' Howl said as he picked her up and carried her to their room.
He laid her gently on the bed but when he tried to move he found it quit difficult with Sophie latched onto him like a nursing baby, so he lay down next to her and worked from the bed.
About an hour later Sophie's eyes fluttered open and she found herself cuddled up to her hard working Howl. She wrapped her arm around his waist and rested her head on his shoulder kissing from his shoulder blade to the nape of his neck, and stopped when she reached the spot that sent shivers down his spine. She kissed the spot again and laughed when Howl's smile widened significantly.
"Did I find the sweet spot?" Sophie asked seductively.
Howl nodded and gently positioned her beneath him trying not to let all his weight drop on her. He kissed her with great fiery passion and she kissed back too. She placed her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him closer. Howl put one hand on her cheek while his other hand was keeping him from falling on her. Sophie tangled her hands in Howl's hair and moaned into his mouth. Howl pulled away slightly and kissed along her jaw.
"I love you Howl, and will forever," Sophie whispered sweetly.
"I know, I love you too Sophie," Howl said and then went back in for more of his sweet tasting, lovely, amazing, super fantastic wife.
